Don't swallow the grape eeeds. For

accompanled liy large swelhngs. About
n week ago he had a severe attack, witb
inilamtnation ot tne Doweis. ne gcow

performed an operation and found the
cause of all the trouble to be two grape

and inllammatlon.

Mr. E D. Wolcott of Coloiadomade
the tellitiK apetch of the eyening at thf
dinner of tfce New England Society in
New York. He was applauded to the
echo when, epeuklng of the immigratlon
to this country, he said : "We are be
ginnlng to realir.e, howtver, that tho in

So far we have been able to make Amer

TllE l'HOCLKM OF MODEKN SOCIETV,
It was a cruel raoment when Orace
Courlney, aflpr her change of fortune,
firat met her former rival, the rlcli and
haughty Mibs Marlttin. They had been
leading'belles, two yeare before.in aocie
iv. and rumora had said were competi-
tors for the hand of young Sluy veaant
Mortimer, the sole heir ot Ilie great
banker of that name. But Grace's fath
er had failed, and then died, leaving his
fatnily destitut". HI10 was glau in tnia
emergency, to acuept a Bituatton aa
nurtery guvernefa in the pretty village
of Sraverge, un the shnre of Long Island

condition in New York, where ao many
knew her, she felt to be impnssinle; nut
here in this m!et and secluded place.ahe

thought Uracp, lipr tiret impulso being
to turn away. Ilut slio had a brave aoul;
and so, ufier a moment's hesilation she
looked full at Miss Marlton.
The latter aaw Grace and pvidenlly
recognlzed her, for herfare ilushed.even
through its ahundant coat of powder;
but she tliu not Uow, on tho contrary
sliefltared as if tho two had never met
before.
I might have known it, said Urace hit-
terly: our worlds are nowdilferent, Uut
what an inolent starel I am sure it she
had been a poor governess and I the
hpiress. I could not have treatetl her so,
Nor could she. This thought dwelt

For Graco had one of thoee rare naturea

but becauBo of what she supposed to bn
liis generositv of lieart and his inborn
nobilitv of character.
Alas! thia illusion. like many atiother
had been dlBanmted bv experience; for.
from the day of her father's death, ahe
had never eeen young Mortimer, though
bpfere that lie was the moatassiuuous 01
lovers.
She had known alwr.ys, that Mias
Marlton hatpd her. Nor was the reaaon
far to seek. The latter had 'cotue out' a
year earlier tlian Urace, and young Mor
tttner during that Ilrst winler had been
quite attentive. But, when Urace took
mclely by storm a twelvc-month after,
Miss Marlton lost her half won conquest

auppose lie ever thinka of me. Ah well,
why should he ? I am only a poor gov
ernness, and sincc his father u deud. he
Is one ol the richest young mcn, they
nay, in America.' She ended with a
sigh that broke a tnoment after, into a
half contemptuous laugh.
What do ynu thlnk 1 hear? said Mrs
Leigh to her husband the next day at
luncheon. It ib that young Sluyvesanl
Mortimer is to marry Mias Marllon.
What ! the daufcliter of Ihe great rail
road operatut? replied Mr. Leigh. Well
its a great raich even for her. Kailroad

habit often, of becotning next door lo

made in railroads, been transfcrrcd to
government bonds and other Ilrst class
secunties, and is aafe as gold itself.
They say, retorted his wife, that thia
young Morlimer is one of tlie handsom
tst of nien and a great awell,
Ali ! replied the huehand. Well, I do
not know him.even in busineaa. In fnct.

moved in a lilgner spnero uian me
Leighs. He's been in Europe you know,
for a year and more, hand in glove, l'm
lold, with the best people there.
Orace heard this convereatlon with a
beatmg heart, for che always lunched
with Mr and Mrs. Leigh; their lunch in
fact, was her dinner. Hbe had not hearu
before of hcr old lover's absence in Eu
rope and only knew of his father's dealh
from a paragraph in the newspaper.
Naturally,she could not help lieing mov.
ed by this newa. Ilut her lip curled with
contpmnt aa she recalled the fact that
lie had deaerted hei the niomeiit she be-
came poor.
She slent but liille that nlghl, natural
ly. The children were especially trying
all dav. for the prolonged he&t was tell
ing on their tempera. So, after lesaons
were over. Grace aturted for a walk fol-
lowing tho little brook on itsshady side,
as it wound to the eea. It was a pretty
atreamlet; widening at ptaces. tu quite
a small river, anu in places full of water
lillies. Turning a corner, Urace came
suddenlr on Miss. Marlton, ettting in
boat pretending to tlsli, but looKtng up
every moment, as If she expected some
one.
A pet dog was In Ihe front of the buat.
Hp&rini: Uracu'e step. the pampered
plaything sprang up and began lo bark
furioualy at her.
At the eame inslanl, Miss Marlton de
tected our herolnn, and, opening her
large lazy eyes, etartd again, this time
even more superciliously than the day
before. Gracn hurried on as faot aa she
could, her chpcks hot with mortiflcation
and anger. Uut her liaste was not suil-
cieut to carry her out of sieht and hear
ing.betore she saw a tuanly form which
ahe knew only too well and heard a
voloe that made every pulse of her body
thrill. It waa Sluy vesant Morlimer.who
had suddenly appeared from a grove on
the other side of the streatn, and 10
whom Mis Marllon ratlcd to come and
row her home, turning her boat as Bhe
apoke towards him.
How Orace got back to tho houn that
afternoon, she never knew, Sho niUBt

'the next day broke more sultty than

that Ihe children i-liould lake a holiday.

Oh yes, answered May, on a picnic.
And we are going to have such a jolly

Of course I do, with a hearty sympa-

To the Kilitor ofthe Iiiithtml llerahl :
I notice that ibe Herald of Dec, 27 con
tained an item to the ellect that I would
be one of the delegates from thia State
to the next Republican National Con
ventlon. ln regard tn this Btatement 1
wih to aay a few worda, There is a
popular impreseion prevalent that the
State Conveetion clects the delegates to
JNational uonvention, and I can onlv
account for the publication of an item
of this character on the hypothesis that
the orlginator was either a Democrat or
mugwump. I understand the state-
ment first appeared in a Troy paper.and
preaume it waa inadvertently copied in
to the Herald.
In thia connectionl desire to say that
bad no knowledge of the item until
after ita publication, und furtbermure,
that I regard any such a?sertion regard
ing a ciuzen previous tu the meeting of
party conventinn as most niwuru.
I bcg leave to remark that the subiect
of my candidacy for eo honorable a po
eition as delegate to a National Conyen
tion has never been enterlaincd, and
that I have no ambition for political pre
fprment ln that directiuu.
I shall be content to occupy a seat in
the spectators' gallery of the exposition
ouilding during the sessions of the Na
tional Convention and to look down up
on tbe assembled Hepublican delegales
wbo will name the next 1'resident ot the
UnitedStates.
I believe Vermont should eend a dele
eation to Chicutro compoeed of the
ablest and slrongest IEf publicans witbin
her borders. Ihe gentleuien who sliould
be selected for delegaies need not bo
named by me, for tbey aro as familiar
to the Republicans of Vermont ashouse
hold words,
In conclusion I desire to eay that tu
my humble opinion the nominee of the
next Republican National Convention
will be James G. Blaine. While it might
not be wise oa politic lo send a delega
tion pledged or instructed for Blaine h
wuuld be most iniudicious 11KI unwiee
to send delegates who are anti Blaino
men. V ermont Uepubiicans ougnt nol
to assume tlie atlitude of antagonizing
Blaine or anv other candidate before or
aiter the nominalion, but fall into line
with Kepublic-an sentiment througuout
Ihe cauntry and lliereby receive tho
recognition they are sujustly entitled to.
